The Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics (東都先端物質学研究所, Touto Sendan Busshitsukakui Kenkyūsho, TIAP for short) is an organization appearing in Kamen Rider Build. They are an advanced scientific government research laboratory with some of its staff being officials in Touto's government who deliver reports directly to the Prime Minister of Touto, where Pandora Box was stored and being used for research.
In the past, the laboratory was originally being co-developed by the government Namba Heavy Industries, which is known as Namba Heavy Industries Integrated Sciences Laboratory (難波重工総合科学研究所, Nanbajūkō Sōgō Kenkyūsho), where it has been the storing place of Pandora Box and the Bangle which contains Vernage's consciousness, before the latter falls into Misora's possession. Ryuga Banjo was also often taking examinations for the first few years after his birth due to his physiology, where the examinations were carried out under Shinobu Katsuragi's supervision. One month after Sky Wall Inicident, Soichi Isurugi has left his astronout position and become Special Advisor for the research of Pandora Box for seven years before he defects and opens Nascita. In a specific time before the series, the laboratory has reformed into a facility belongs to Touto government, with part of the land and all the equipments including Pandora Box have moved to the new Touto Institute, leaving the old building abandoned. There are three floors underground in the old building, but when the laboratory was given to the Touto government, the members who are related to Faust concealed the existence of the third underground floor so that they can use the said area to carried out the activities for Faust.
In the New World, since it takes place in a world where Japan is no longer divided by the Sky Wall, this organization became known as National Institute of Advanced Matter Physics (国立先端物質学研究所, Kokuritsu Sendan Busshitsukakui Kenkyūsho).
